on the subject of spam...

Some of you may have noticed that we've been getting a lot of spam comments on CLUTCH lately.

We don't like spam any more than the next gal, so we've had to make a few changes in comment settings to try and make it go away.

We've added a captcha (that's the little set of letters you have to type in to prove you're a live human being) to the comment fields. For now, we're leaving the ability to post Anonymous comments, because we know that sometimes you want to share something personal without the whole world knowing it was you. And some of you don't have Google or Blogger accounts with which to sign in.

If the captcha filters out the spam, then we're good to go. Please don't let it discourage you from making great comments and leaving your thoughts with us!
